So, in the past it was the Communists and the USSR. It was great for the right wing, they could increase military spending, they could be tough on the Communists, they could keep the plebs in their place with fear of the common enemy.
It united Western Europe and the US, Canada, Australia and others behind the cause.

""Look, I want to find the best candidate for us to take our message to the American people," he added. "That we can bring better jobs, higher incomes, and more security globally."
It's funny, he wants more security globally. It's a Republican theme. It's a different way of saying "being tough on terror".
